The Bucks have to win more games for that to happen but yeah Giannis has been at least a borderline top 5 player this season tbh ( you cuban)
Already on an all-time great career trajectory, and he's doing it without relying on food stamps from the refs like Harden does. He also plays defense, unlike Harden.
The MVP discussion should be Westbrook vs. Giannis, not Westbrook vs. Harden.

I dont like Harden and yes, credit goes to D'Antoni and yes Giannis is having an incredible stretch, but his name should not be in the MVP conversation yet.
Players drafted before him in 2013
A fluke season doesnt mean u deserve mvp, just like harden who had to prove his peak year at the rockets wasnt a fluke, now his backing it up in antonis system ....
mvp is still wide open man.... if kawhi and the spurs can win the remaining games against those teams with players in contention for mvp, he could steal it...he does have a winning record against them besides 1loss each to rockets and clippers...but his won most of his h2h statement games
He's black tbh
I love the op, but Harden is argubly a top 5 player in the league with a winning record and only a 1 game behind San Antonio in the West.
Also those stats are so nitpicked...
Not if his team is a 6 seed. The MVP usually goes to the best player on a top 3 team in its conference.
It's between Kawhi, Lebron, and Harden.
Not if Westbrook averages a triple double for the season.
And he will..
Which is crazy because he really doesn't need to do much to get it. Sure, for the casual it looks hard but the fact of the matter is that..Westbtrook is averaging 8. something uncontested defensive rebounds a game ( I dont know the the other numbers, but that has got to be top 3 in the league if not the highest number)..In other words, his Bigs are giving him all the rebounds.
That is much easier to do than Finish top 3 in the west or in Lebron Case the top seed in the east.
I suspect the triple double phenomenan will die out next year when mainstream media realizes where those rebounds usually come from
A really impressive feat, is when bigs do it or possibly wings.
Because In general, when Guards are looking for the uncontested defensive rebounds...It leaves the most dangerous creator without a defender..
Part of the reason why OKC defense is terrible.
Voters are gonna look at the stats and think, "Harden almost averaged a trip-dub, and he won more games. Advantage Harden."
Giannis needs to stop getting shat on by the likes Harrison Barnes, Wiggins & Otto Porter before he's an MVP candidate especially when his team doesn't have a better record than Kemba's Hornets.
Nope..Harden-led team is only 2 games in loss column out of second seed in the West..
I love Giannis, but his (high) ceiling is severely limited if he doesn't develop an outside shot...he would be easy to game-plan for in the playoffs without it when the tempo slows down..
The Bucks' second-best player (Khris Middleton) hasn't played all season. Kidd is a coach. They're overpaying Miles Plumlee and Greg Monroe to warm the bench. The fact that they're even a 6 seed is a testament to Giannis' greatness.
You overestimate the average NBA fan. All they care about is stats. The higher the better for them.
IiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiI love the op, but Harden is argubly a top 5 player in the league with a winning record and only a 1 game behind San Antonio in the West.
MVP voters are average NBA fans??
awarding westbrick mvp for posting up triple double avgs = empty stats
lol "instead of"
how about they can both me mvp candidates
1 game over 500 in the Leastern conference
